People in a coma are still considered real human beings. The reason why you'd pull the plug is because there is no prospect of survival, or that the resources necessary are too great. Which, as much as it sucks, is a normal thing that

What I like is practical and real life, what I don't like is ideological.

This requires a justification for why home size is a good indicator of quality of life, or for why it's more important than other indicators.

Many americans put the euro sign before the numerical value even though most (afaik all) countries that use the euro put it after. This is such a weird thing to get bothered by.

Yes it's invite-based, and yes it actually is lobsters, a fork of it.

The lack of such tooling may be precisely why many potentially great "indie" languages never succeed.

They meant that the implementation of a four-function calculator only needs a few fixed variables rather than a stack.

The amount of braking you can apply before flying over the handlebars decreases significantly the more you move the center of gravity forward.

I'm comparing more to 2010s cars :) I think it's a pretty good balance between visibility and comfort. But I can definitely see your point. > Are there new cars with warm LED lights? I don't know actually, but I've de

The cold LED headlights also strain your eyes more as the driver. It's much less comfortable to look at IMO.

Huh, I hadn't realized you can't search for submission domains, that seems like an oversight. To search for comments specifically there's a dropdown in the top left by the way.

Fair enough, though I think the techniques that the author uses are perfectly adequate depending on the type and scale of software you're writing. Maybe it should be better labelled. As for searching, if you scroll down to the bottom o

You're right, but I meant the consequences for him from this point on, which are essentially as if he hadn't done anything.

With a full pardon it's as if he never did anything in the first place.

It's a bit big for my hands as well, but the huge touch screen is amazing for programs like sunvox so I don't even mind. I think it's hard to genuinely appreciate how big the thing is until you hold it. Today I realized it&#x

The formatting is off, family time is 17:00-21:00 in GP's comment.

On almost every newline, which is the reason why this doesn't work: func thing() { I quite like this approach. It's very simple and consistent, and once you know how it works it's not ever surprising.

Because now you have to jump around in order to see the sequence of events, which can be very frustrating if you have to constantly switch between two of these functions. Plus, if we're dealing with a "long list of tasks" tha

Yep, you're right. One way to make this less of a problem is to make this distinction at the type level, having both an owned_string and a string_view for example. You can even make owned_string store its length inline.

by ropejumper 2y ago
Two people have already mentioned things like storing the length inline or including a null-terminator to be backwards-compatible. What's described there is basically the same as std::string_view or &str, and to me one of the bigge

You have a point. It's a complicated issue for sure, I definitely don't want to be the one tasked with making a decision (and being judged for it!)

No voting machines were used. It was paper ballots with stamps.

Paper ballots, and a recount was already issued. There were differences between the two counts but they were minor enough; the recount was actually done because some other guy didn't like the fact that 2nd and 3rd place were only 2000

But the point of communication is mutual understanding. I generally agree that language is what we make it be, but in this case the wrong usage, meaning the usage that is mathematically incorrect, is causing issues. I can't just go aro

There are relatively few people living south enough to have "cold and dark winters," anyway. The northern hemisphere is much more concentrated towards the north. Most people live above 35°S where, at the most extreme, winter days

Yep. The issue with megacorps (and more generally monopolies) is that they want to have their cake and eat it too. You want capitalism but you also want to be the only one on the market. Pick a side.

The downvotes aren't because people are triggered, they're because people think that what you said is kind of stupid.
